I've made some changes in the name of a variable in a js file,
so change 'var oldName' in 'var newName'
If I start to synchronize, WinSCP returns the message: 'No differences'.
But there are!
If I change 'var' to 'va' for testing, the difference is detected.
Seems the filter of the exclude dirs is also applied on the text.

Re: Synchronizing does not see change in var name due to exluded dir 'var'

'Seems the filter of the exclude dirs is also applied on the text.'

UPDATE:
Sorry, this was a premature conclusion.
I boiled down the problem to this:
- created a simple text file local/remote with the only text 'test1'.
- change it remote to 'test2'
Synchronize: No difference detected!
As long as the changed text keeps the same length, no difference is detected.
